Hanker - They Are Gone lyrics

rate me

He's rocking his chair<br />

With nobody around him<br />

He is in despair<br />

Perhaps they've forgotten<br />

So he waits with tears on his cheeks<br />

Hoping they'll come see him for a while<br />

Maybe they'll come... Will they all come?<br />

<br />

He feels in the air<br />

An angel around him<br />

He'll pretend he's not there<br />

Still hoping they'll come see him<br />

Yet he has been fair with them<br />

Why don't they come see him for a while<br />

Maybe they're gone... Could they be gone?<br />

<br />

He stands up off his chair<br />

Though it's so hard for him<br />

He's not ready to go yet<br />

So the angel says to him<br />

You have always been fair with them<br />

You gotta follow me now and when they come<br />

They'll say he's gone... Too late he's gone!<br />

<br />

Why don't we get closer to the elders<br />

Knowing time won't stand still for the reaper<br />

<br />

So he stays there reliving his past<br />

He stays there wondering why they won't come<br />

He feels so forsaken!<br />

<br />

Why don't we get closer to the elders<br />

Knowing time won't stand still for the reaper<br />

<br />

He stays there<br />

Reliving his past<br />

He stays there<br />

Hoping for someone to talk with<br />

He stays there<br />

Asking why they wouldn't come<br />

Too late<br />

The angel has come<br />

Sorry I'm gone<br />

Yes I'm gone<br />

So long I'm gone<br />

Damned! He's gone!
